The Quest Lyrics - Ten Foot Pole

Watching old home movies, the seeds so evident 

Little did I know back then what my tapping fingers meant 

A compulsive urge to hum a tune, to touch a piano key 

In every sound and rhythmscape, I found a piece of me 

The picture began to become more clear, 

my purpose more firmly grounded 

The day I sat at my brother's drums, 

picked up his sticks and pounded 

I felt the ceiling open up, heart and mind were lifted 

This primal force convincing me, my goals in life had shifted 

Then I learned a few guitar chords just to seal the deal 

The power of music I could not ignore, the surge inside 

me real 

I plucked away at Misfits' tapes 'til I could play along 

Then came the happiest day I've known- when I wrote my first song 

A few interruptions since, I'm back where I belong- 

pen and paper, sticks and strings, the quest for the 

perfect song
